An everyday-drinking dry white from Hokkaido Wine's approachable "Hokkaido" series, made from 100% Kerner grown and vinified entirely in Hokkaido. Muscat-like white-flower aromatics lead into fresh grapefruit, lemon, plum, and green apple notes, finishing clean and dry with balanced acidity. Awarded Silver at the 2021 Sakura Award and Bronze at the 2020 Hong Kong International Wine Competition.
The everyday face of Hokkaido Kerner — less concentrated than the winery's single-vineyard bottlings, but a reliable, citrus-fresh dry white that over-delivers for its price.
